<p>Amando de Ossorio's <em>Return of the Evil Dead</em> (aka <em>El ataque de los muertos sin ojos</em>), the sequel to the writer-director's 1971 zombie film <em><a href="/reviews/tombs_of_the_blind_dead_1971">Tombs of the Blind Dead</a> </em><em>(La noche del terror ciego</em><em>)</em>, might be more appropriately named <em>Knights of the Living Templars</em>. That's not quite accurate either, however, because the Templars, those eyeless, sword-wielding, slow-motion skeletal warriors, are certainly more dead than living. However, for all punny intentions, it certainly captures the spirit of Ossorio's movie, which is very much like a cover of <a href="/masters/george_a_romero">George A. Romero</a>'s zombie classic <a href="/reviews/night_of_the_living_dead_1968"><em>Night of the Living Dead</em></a> performed by a Spanish tribute band.</p><p><a href="http://classic-horror.com/reviews/return_of_the_evil_dead_1973" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://classic-horror.com/reviews/return_of_the_evil_dead_1973#commentsTheatrical releaseBlind DeadOccultSupernaturalZombiesSpainMon, 10 Sep 2007 08:14:45 +0000Nate Yapp732 at http://classic-horror.comTombs of the Blind Deadhttp://classic-horror.com/reviews/tombs_of_the_blind_dead_1971

<p>Spanish/Portuguese co-production centering around the Templars, a group of medieval knights who were executed for their satanic practices and had their eyes plucked out by birds. Now, they arise from the grave in skeletal form, ready to drink the blood of any poor soul unfortunate enough to spend the night in their castle. Having no eyes, they find all of their victims by sound, but this isn't much of a handicap. If you were being chased by 600-year-old armored corpses, you'd make a lot of noise, trust me. The plot, incidental as it is, has a group of people investigating the death of a friend at the Templar ruins.</p><p><a href="http://classic-horror.com/reviews/tombs_of_the_blind_dead_1971" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://classic-horror.com/reviews/tombs_of_the_blind_dead_1971#commentsTheatrical releaseBlind DeadZombiesPortugalSpainTue, 17 Apr 2001 08:00:00 +0000Nate Yapp731 at http://classic-horror.com
